This second installment in the Arthur Trilogy finds thirteen year old Arthur de Caldicot leaving his manor to serve as a squire.

It is a sophisticated coming of age story that explores identity, the weight of expectations, and the discovery of one's own values.

It is ideal for readers who enjoy history or fantasy but are ready for more nuanced emotional themes and complex prose.
